So yeah I like video games and I thought a topic to discuss video games would be interesting. I don't play that much but I have an xbox360 and a nintendo 3ds. Of course I just recently got GTAV and the Pokemon game. :F

So yeah they're both very good ;|

I mostly play Minecraft these days. But I also quite like conquer-the-world games like Civilization or the Total War series. I've never had a console, always been a PC gamer.

I played some Civilization though I don't remember which one.

I always wanted to try a new one though! Which one do you think I should get? Or can you suggest any other game that are similar to Civilization? I really like those kind of games

I have only played the first 3 Civ games (3 and a half if you count CivNet semi-separately, I guess). Civ 2 is probably my favorite, Civ 3 was mostly good but the amped-up corruption in large empires made continent-scale democracies impossible to run. I've heard mostly good things about Civ 5, mixed things about Civ 4, but never played either. The Total War series is very good, Medieval, Medival 2, and Rome all being excellent. Never got to play Napoleon, Shogun, or Shogun 2, I have Empire Total War but haven't had a chance to really play it yet due to intense Minecraft addiction. Rome 2 sounds like it will be excellent if they ever iron out a few bugs.

If you like older, classic games that probably don't run on modern hardware without an emulator like DOSBox, Empire Deluxe is a classic, and Master of Magic is basically Civ 1 crossed with Heroes of Might and Magic. Master of Orion I and II are excellent space-based conquer-the-galaxy games.

I never liked real-time-strategy titles like Warcraft/Starcraft, Command and Conquer, or Age of Empires, but others seem to like them.

I have always played a both console and PC. PC games have always been my first love since for a long time the consoles were fairly weak and I have a huge love of simulators especially planes. I tend to play games I like for a very long time. Computer games are far better than this since I have computer skills and many games can be modified if you know how.

The Civ and SimCity games were always great but I used to have a real passion for RTS too. Ages of Empires and the like. My favorite one was called Earth 2150. 3 fractions with different types of vehicles. It had amazing graphics. Rain and other weather affects that were not just pretty they affected game play. A battle in the rain was tricky because you just could not see as far. It also had a day and a night cycle and that was wonderful. All the vehicles and buildings had lights that would pop on when night fell. The very best thing about E2150 was the scripts. You could create your own custom scripts for the various game types, the unit AI and even the enemy AI. Like a lot of game the enemy AI would start attacking you fairly quickly and would not build up all that much. I was able to slow them down so when they came at me they did so in force.

The Unit scripting was so good I was able to create things like patrols and even search patterns that my units could run all on their own with just a few clicks.

Silent Hunter is one of the few computer games I still play now and again. WWII submarines. Again this is a game that I have played to death straight and then hacked into. I was able to give my sub greater speed and a few other perks. The earlier versions were a basic 3D but the current one is just stunning. You can go under the water and watch the torpedos leave the ship and see the water sheeting off the sub as it breaks the surface.

For Racing games though the consoles have really caught up well. Played most of the Need for Speed games and a few others. I also have a fondness for open world games like Grand Theft Auto although the last one I really liked was the remake of Vice City called Vice City stories.

I tend to skip every other generation of consoles since I still prefer the PC. So I never picked up a PS3 but I do have a PS2 and a Wii. Planning on getting a PS4 once it has been out for a little while and they work the bugs out of it. And there are always bugs. The second version of every console is always the good one.

I've never really played many video games. I'm not coordinated enough, I guess. I seem to stick to things like Dr. Mario, Tetris, and Galaga (Destination Earth) on Gameboy. And I made it halfway through the original Zelda. But I've found I like to watch and help guide. I enjoy the Halo story and watched DH play all of them last fall.
I've got LEGO Marvel Super Heroes pre-ordered, though. It's more puzzle solving than just shooting, and I thoroughly enjoyed the demo. (And Clark Gregg is voicing Agent Coulson!!!)

Ok maybe I'm getting earth 2150
It does sound awesome. Do you think my 4gbram 2.8 ghz duo processor computer could handle it?
And yeah I do like Grand theft auto games too. If you like open world games you HAVE TO try GTA5. It is awesome

Earth 2150 originally came out in 2000 so your computer will handle it with all the options turned to max. There were 2 follow-up expansions. You can get the whole set for $6.00

I tried the lego batman game (lego batman 2) Is this one an open world too?

Open-world hub of New York City and the Helicarrier above it. 15 main missions in the storyline, with numerous side-missions in the open world. (You have to save Stan Lee 50 times in the game, so there must be at least 35 side quests I'm thinking.)

I've been watching Youtube videos of people playing around town and it does look fun. I didn't like the Batman lego game because it was too ''dark'' for my taste. I might have to rent this one though because it looks way better :F

Warning, they can be addicting as all hell. When I first got the original Medieval Total War, for the next two weeks, I only stopped playing to eat, sleep, and go to the bathroom.

I'm not really the type of guy who gets addicted to stuff

I think.

Well if I suddenly disappear you'll know what happened

Thanks, Mathlx, for making this topic. I also play xbox 360, and, as of now, my favorite game would have to be Destiny. I also love portal 2, skate 3, forza horizon, most any sports game you throw at me, and much more.

So I've recently complete a playthrough of Dragon Age Inquisition, including all its add--ons and its one of my favourite experiences It is a complete RPG experience and has so many interesting characters and stories. I'd recommend playing it to anyone who hasnt already and loves fantasy tales.

Currently working my way through Fallout 4. Post-Apocalyptic story with Ghouls and Mutants and a ton of fun too.

Favorite games of all time: Age of Empires 2, GTA San Andreas, Counter-Strike (v1)

But I love Final Fantasy series, played all of them.

I was one year away from home and I'm still busy, so I don't have time to touch my playstation. When I have time I will finish my Final Fantasy X / X-2 Remaster and Dark Souls. However I still need to play Dark Souls 2, Dragon Age Inquisition, Blood Bourne and Kingdom Hearts 2.5 Remix (all of them waiting here ).

The only thing I am playing at the moment are Marvel Avengers Alliance on facebook and One Piece Treasure Cruise on smartphone.

well Most of the Time i like Playing Games like Need For Speed, Call of Duty Games on XBOX Live, to me it doesnt matter whether you win a Game or lose one because The time you Play online you always learn something New to help you become a Better and Humbled Gamer.

but if i had to pick a game im really Good at it Would be Call of Duty because i love how each game you play makes you more strategic in how you play your game, sure i may die a Few times but its worth the Wisdom when your able to start Predicting where other players are gonna be Camping in one spot or waiting for you around the Next corner, sometimes its better to be the one Unpredictable in a Level because it gives you an Edge on the Competition. on Call of duty i also a unofficial Explosives expert because i always seem to place explosives where people are going to be.

I've been enjoying Fallout 4 again recently and am looking forward to Deus Ex coming out later this month.

A few games I want coming out later in the year too. Mass Effect Andromeda is the big one.
